Review by Kim

"Kepa was my son's special education teacher in elementary school. We were so impressed with Kepa's professionalism and he did a great job providing servic

es that were above and beyond the goals in my son's IEP. Once my son moved on to middle school, Kepa tutored him successfully in math and writing. Kepa is kind, creative, and fun and has a particular gift for meeting kids where they are. I've never met a kid (or adult) that didn't absolutely love Kepa!"

"Leona is all I could have wanted out of a tutor. She was positive, patient, and up lifting. She really worked with me and reminded me to be confident in t

he skills I have learned. I highly recommend Leona. Even though we were online through Skype, she was just as helpful than if she were in person."

Review by Anna

"Maurice is an outstanding educator, an educator that makes students feel capable and confident in accomplishing whatever academic goals they may have or s

truggle with. He puts all his focus on what students first need to learn in order to get to their goal. He's one of the most understanding educators I've had the pleasure of working with. His patience, regardless of the students difficulty on grasping the academic concept is astonishing. If a student isn't understanding one learning style, he'll try a different way until the student does."
